Why you had to bring N9 up again! Every time I think about this device I feel deep pain. I'd hit anyone who was responsible for depriving the world of this wonder and pushed us Asians and Europeans to US spyware Android.

For me it was the last ever phone, that had captured my attention. Maybe it is not the best ever, but for me it is definitely a contender for one to be crowned as the best ever.
Amazing and very innovative yet mr. Ellop never gave it a chance, despite the fact that this phone has been selling quite outstandingly. So sad :(

Great article. Bought this cheap in mint condition last year. A brilliant design and very elegant UI. A lonely beautiful "swan" in the history of phones. A nostalgic trip for an old Nokia fan as well. No social media apps working, only calls and sms/mms. Wich is absolutely perfect for quiet and peaceful walks or moments were you don't want to be so immensely disturbed by the digital stress. And you can even take decent pictures with it. What more to ask for as a second phone!

I am glad, I still own one. It has been long lasting on my drawer and sometimes a toy on my boy's hands. But I remember how premium it was felt on my hands back in its date. I really hope a company brings Meego back with all capabilities that a smart phone today has as well as its original shape with minimum bezels.

I know someone who had not one but two of them!
And yes, it was as beauty and absolutely a killer device - but never ever let see the light by the genius leader... :(

BY FAR the BEST UI I've ever used on a mobile Phone. Apps might have been snappy, but my N9 eat up the battery power like dragon.

MeeGo had everything except good timing. It was too late. Nokia knew it and thought going all-in WP was the better bet. Launch MeeGo even 1 year before the N9 and it had a shot at being the 3rd OS. Reality is, Nokia was a hardware manufacturer up against Software giants. Never had a chance. N9 was amazing. Its really a big shame.

Jolla lived on after the decision at Nokia to move to Windows Mobile. Jolla and Sailfish are still available today and is the evolution of Meego.

Nokia was relying on Symbian and Windows Mobile OS instead to move to Android. Thats why they went down. When they reborn, they jumped on Android straight away.

Believe it or not, I've been using my N9 up until half-a-year ago. For the 6+ years of use, I've had to replace the screen once (because I'm an idiot and dropped it), but please note this - I replaced it myself in 20-30 minutes and I'm not even in the mobile phone repair business!! (Not to mention the whole screen assembly was less than 100 €...) Some time ago I've bought a spare battery, just in case. Well, I never had to swap it - the original one would still last about two days of normal use. I have to say it really hurt saying goodbye to MeeGo and switching to stinkin' Android, but I needed a dual-SIM and something that could actually process the monstrous web pages of today. Closing words: In case you don't know, there was a prototype N9 with a hardware keyboard (Nokia E7 style). I guess I'm one of the lucky people who've had the chance to hold it in their hands - that was a truly incredible device!!!
